I thought he was my freind until I told him about my sa and he made”jokes about it” eventually put his hands on me and drug me out my dorm room

Healing to me is being able to live a life doing what I want without my trauma holding me back. Not forgetting, not forcing myself not to feel or think about it, but to not let it limit me. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm trying.

Healing is growth. It doesn’t mean you are completely over what happened and it doesn’t erase what happened. It simply means that you can now face what hurt you. It is a never ending process. It doesn’t happen over night and it is never over. You are constantly healing and growing in order to move forward and not let your trauma dictate your life.
Report
To be healed is to be free to bring your suffering with you as you go wherever the Lord calls you.

For me, this is a big step. Being able to say what my brother did and sharing my story. I have had a hard time expressing myself because I swore I would take this to the grave. But to heal I need to let it out somewhere. Even though I will never confront him nor tell anyone who knows me the person who did this. I feel proud to get it out anonymously.

Healing means to me is self care , strength and empowerment advocacy volunteering work public speaking engagements to help another person who is going thru this

Keep improving on yourself even when it's hard or looks hopeless. Keep doing what you know is right. Work on yourself. I believe in you. It takes commitment but you got this. It can mean changing how you talk to yourself, or eating healthier or mediating. Try new changes one at a time. Focus on yourself and what you need

You are not your story. Yes, this happened to you, but you are so much more. You are strong. You are brave. You are a survivor.
Report
Just know that it's not your fault if this has also happened to you. You were not responsible for it, you were too young or fragile to know.
Report
Not yet, I feel like I can't give hope when I have none. Constant invalidation and denial of all abuses for over 30 years has depleted my resources.
